They declare that they want:
l. A classification of state school lands into
agricultural and pastoral divisions.

3. A leasing of pastoral lands for fixed
term, and that when the lease expires the state

WHILE suffering and destiUution are in
the bounds of Texas, at least the victims
are spared the additional pang which an
arctic winter brings to those similarly
suffering in Newfoundland. People in
the northern part of that island are de
pendent on the government to supply
their absolute necessities. and in many
cases drag themselves across long dis
tances to meet only disappointment at
the coast, the steamers having no sup
plies for them. The government has en-
deavored to avert starvation by giving
them work on 4 railroad, but with an
empty treasury nothing more can be done
and these people are left, for three
months to come, to the horrors of cold,
idleness and starvation.

THE Philadelphia Record says: "The
railroad men are beginning to figure out
increased earnings as result of the pro-
hibition of free passes contained in the
interstate commerce law. Charles Fran
els Adams told congressional committee
two years ago that the prohibition of free
passes would save $1,000 q day to the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, and
would enable it to make a very eonsidera-
Bile reduction in passenger fares"

A CHICAGO court has decided it to be
no libel to call man crank. The news
papers can now proceed unhesitatingly in
their usual way of denominating writers
"crsnks" who, in their Judgment, are in
dulging in vsgaries. The judge sustained
his decision that this word was in no
sense defamatory by quoting from Car
lyle, a new authority in law, who def .es
"crankn thus: "Some strange action
caused by twisted judgment, caprice,
whim, crotcRet or vagary; subject to
violent pranks.''

REAL CAPACITY COMES HIGH.

REAL CAPACITY COMES HIGH.
1t is the fashion in state legislatures
when discussing the subject of railroad
regulation through the medium of COM
mission, which body shall fix rates. ad-
Just difficulties, ETC., to assume that men
competent to serve on such commissions
can be had for comparatively mesger re-
Enumeration. The average legislator usu-
ally fixes upon $1,000 to S25O0 per annum
as about the sum that railroad commits
sioner ought to be paid, and the reply
that such sum will net be sufficient to
induce men of intelligence in the position
required to accept the duties thereof is
usually received with contemptuous dis
belief. Some of the states have found
this out to their cost. Their cheap COM
missioners, even when backed by the lsW
and the courts, have been sadly out-gen-
eraled by the superior, expert, well paid
talent which the railroad companies are
always sure to retain. When Congress
fixed the salary of each commissioner at
$500 per snnum. q sum that is generally
regarded as quite liberal and well calcu-
lated to enlist the services of thorough
~ capable class of men. 1t will do so, so
far as the purely civilian appointees are
concerned, but it is said the President is
finding out that it will not satisfy thor
oughly experienced railroad men. He
desires to place at least two such men on
the commission, and in his guest for
them finds that such men as he wants are

After a very tempestuous voyage
upon the sea of operate experience
the company has been very much

wise, while u slight dimunition in
the ballet will not materially detract
from the ensemble.
The company is as last season I'M
